I'm sure I could write for hours and hours about this subject
(and perhaps I will in an article on my own web site).
Basically, IIS and Apache do the same thing. They have a vastly
different design philosophy, however, and the underlying
operating systems have even wider differences.
My experience is that Linux and Unix people prefer apache,
and windows people prefer IIS.
To me, the choice of webserver really comes down to "what are
you and your group comfortable with?" If your experience is with
apache, linux or unix, then you probably want to stick with
Apache. If your experience is with Windows, then you will
probably be uncomfortable with Apache.
I've used both (and several others) and quite frankly, to me,
it does not matter. Drop me on a server running apache or IIS,
and I will feel at home.
